Abelia Riad - 2025 Guest Choice Award

Near the Jemaa el-Fnaa souks, Abelia Riad occupies a restored courtyard house in Marrakech's medina, its rooftop terrace opening onto the Koutoubia minaret across the rooftops. Rooms wrap a tiled central patio, keeping the medina's noise at street level rather than in the bedrooms.

Breakfast is served on the terrace, weather permitting, with mint tea poured tableside. The riad suits couples and small groups wanting walkable access to the souks without staying inside the busiest lanes; porters meet guests at the nearest car-accessible point since taxis cannot enter the medina's alleys.
